You say machines will never replace humans? Well machines don't betray you or try to harm you. They don't try to destroy you. Do they?

Machines can break down and need repair, maintenance or even need to be replaced. But machines do not HATE. They do not LIE. They do not ATTACK with the purpose of harming you. Isn't that an advantage? You can TRUST them. I suppose a robot could be programmed to kill you. Ah. Another question. SIGH. :(

    Machines do not hate, but their creators can and do.

    You talk as if machines replacing humans is a good thing. You talk as if you're at the centre of all this, and as if you might benefit from humans being replaced. YOU ARE HUMAN. You're going to be replaced too.

    You often talk as if hate is the root of all evil. You should be much more afraid of indifference. Genocide all through history has been limited by the amount of negative emotion the system can brainwash into people. When governments have unlimited armies of robots that will do whatever they are told, not because they hate but because they don't care one way or the other, it will not end well for us.
